why can't diabetics eat bananas?

Accepted Answer

They Can: You can still eat bananas – even if you have diabetes. Bananas are a good source of fiber, they contain potassium, and vitamin c, but they also contain carbohydrates.

If you want to include bananas in your meal plan, become familiar with portion sizes and the number of carbohydrates in each.

Question 6

why is my potassium a little high? 5.3 mmol/l. i don't eat bananas?

Accepted Answer

: To interpret an abnormal blood test we need medical history, current medications and others. With a potassium of 5.3, a slight hemolysis or long tourniquet time with blood draw is a common problem (ideally, tourniquet should be released after blood is coming out but most of the time the phlebotomist leaves it on until done). There is nothing to concern with this K level anyway. Take care.
